Either make one using Add/Remove Programs | Startup Disk or if for some reason that doesn't work you can download the image of an OEM startup disk from www.bootdisk.com. Download the image to your desktop, double click and follow the prompts to transfer the image to a floppy.

Go to www.bootdisk.com and the very first line reads: DOS/Windows9X/Me/NT/2K/XP Excellent Bootdisks Click Bootdisks.

What is telling you to remove the floppy? Just inserting a floppy shouldn't bring up a message like that. Double click on the downloaded file, bootme.exe, and a window should pop up that reads "Insert floppy to write", do this and then click OK. If the disk isn't empty a box will pop up saying "Disk is not empty, all data on your disk will be lost. Do you wish to continue?" Yes or No, If the disk is empty or you type Yes to the previous question you will se a box pop up saying that Drive A is being written to. Nowhere that I am aware of does running bootme.exe create a message saying to remove the floppy. SignatureMike Maltby MS-MVP Windows [2001-2006] mike.maltby@gmail.com Sorry...I have managed to save the download to disc...its just when i put it in my pc it either says eject to continue or it bypasses the disc and goes straight to the ''error'' > > When I put the floppy in the pc it says to remove it...at what point > > do i insert it? [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Nowhere that I am aware of does running bootme.exe create a message saying > to remove the floppy. Again, download to your desktop, click and run the downloaded file bootme.exe and follow the prompts. Do NOT download to a floppy or copy the file to a floppy but instead double click the downloaded file.

What I was asking was at what point do i sinsert the floppy disk...if i do it before i switch on the pc it says remove disk...if i do it after its started nothing happens...should i start pc press f8 then insert ? or should i just throw away the pc.....desperately...Anna > > thanks for jumping in, Mike! > > Unfortunately I don't seem to have been able to help. :-( > This isnt the pc I am having the prob with so its no point > downloading and running... Why not? All you are doing is creating a bootable floppy and you can do that on any PC. Until you have done that there is little point in continuing. > or should i just throw away the pc.....desperately... Perhaps you should consider that if you are unable to follow the procedure to create a boot floppy disk and instead take up knitting! <g> Nah, of course not, all you have to do is follow the oft repeated instructions on what to do and you'll have that floppy.
